Are Pills Safe For Hormone Regulation?

I am 38, and am experiencing ovarian failure. I seem to have all the symptoms of menopause. My gyno suggested I take birth control pills to help regulate my hormones. I am concerned about the risk of blood clots, heart attack, and stroke. I quit smoking 8 months ago. I am still currently using nicotine replacement, however at a very low dose. Is it safe to take a hormone replacement.

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.

You have ovarian failure and started symptoms of menopause. So you can take oestrogen pills. Don't worry about heart attack and blood clotting and other side effects. Its just replacement therapy. Your body is not producing enough hormones so we are giving it externally.

Hope I have answered your question. If you have any doubts then feel free to ask me. I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you very good health.
